I've had AFib for about 5 years, only 4 or 5 episodes. Been on all kinds of medications. I've been getting stress test about one a year, and came out fine, but this time I was told that my test showed a slight abnormality so
I'm to go and have a 'Persantine test'. It's a two day test. One and half hours a days each. They said they put a dye in the heart...UGH!!

Has anyone had this test or Know anything about it?
Thanks a lot for all answers, as I'm really nerves about it..

I remember you're the one that told me to whack the monitor, and that kept it going for 3 or 4 months and it was still doing fine.

I had to whack it about every 3 or 4 days. I really thought you were kidding, but it worked...
So now I have this LCD that is giving me a pain. Can't cut down the brightness. I've tried everything. The buttons on front I run down to 20 from 70 and no change...The disk that came with it (Samsung) doesn't do anything either. Have to have the guy that installed it for me to come back out I guess. Maybe I should have kelp on slapping the other one.

You have seen me on the SBC groups. Which one did I mention my son in
Saudi? No, he's still doing work over there. Work for the USA with computers in Jeddah. Safe so far.
The Persantine is a nuclear test. And I'm told from the AFib group that they inject the dye and then your on the treadmill, x-ray the heart, and they do that again. 'O happy day'..
